Transformers: Making Things Work

The more electronics grow and evolve, the more frustrating they become to some people. Mostly due to the fact that there are so many different electronics to own and know how to use. From finding the compatible remote to turn on the Blu-ray player to knowing the right channel the game is on out of literally thousands of options, electronics can be a difficult thing to master. One other complication that comes with a number of different electronic devices is that many of them require a different voltage level in order to function properly and safely....

Getting to know Step Down Transformers

Step down transformers are often used to power appliances in other countries, they are also mostly used in power generating stations in order to increase the voltage while decreasing the current. These transformers can come in handy for traveling Americans as certain appliances such as a microwave are not quite as popular in foreign countries as they are here in America. In fact, some countries don’t even sell them. However, if you find yourself in a foreign land and have a need to use your microwave, a step down transformers is needed. These transformers...

The Power of Low Voltage Transformers

Blowing a fuse is a common occurrence in households all around America. Electricity is a delicate thing to handle, too much and it can be hazardous and too little is its own problem. In order to ensure that the proper amount of power is going to a particular item, a transformer is required. Low voltage transformers can be a lifesaver in certain situations. The common voltage levels of power outlets is typically around 120 volts, however not all devices need 120 volts, and a lot of them wouldn’t even be able to handle that much power. This is where...

The Importance of Measurement

The world we live in often revolves around numbers, from the numbers in our bank accounts to the square footage of our homes to the number of cups of coffee we need in the morning. However, not everything is measure in the same units. Pizza’s come in a variety of slices, TV screens are measured in inches, and your cup of coffee holds 10 fluid ounces. Electricity is no different as it is measured by a certain unit; transformers measure the amount of current that is flowing in an electrical grid circuit. Transformer manufacturers must take a number...

The Power of Electric Transformers

Electric transformers provide a safe way to bring electricity into our homes and power the things that we use in our everyday life. From our televisions to our kitchen appliances these machines convert the volts coming from our outlets to our electrical devices. The issue lies in that electricity is pumped out from power plants in large volumes and need to be converted down in order to be suitable for our electrical appliances. Many phone chargers carry small electric transformers in order to convert the electricity into a safe capacity to our...

The Danger of Solar Flares

Solar Flares are a growing topic among those in the scientific fields; these cosmic storms have the potential to cause a great deal of havoc to our planet. Now the amount of damage that these storms will cause all depends on who you ask. Some say that we could see the end of the world thanks to these solar flare storms others say we won’t see anything more than auroras across the sky. While these storms are still somewhat of a questionable topic, the fact of the matter is that they carry consequences with them. We may be unsure of the scale of...

Determining the Right High Voltage Transformer for You

Many different applications require the use of high voltage transformers. These transformers are used in cases where large amounts of electrical energy are involved, and they are usually used to convert large voltages to smaller voltages. Conversion allows low power electronic devices to run on the supplied electricity without being damaged or overheating. Like other transformers, high voltage transformers utilize magnetic induction between coils to make this conversion from high to low voltages. They can also incorporate other features like electrical...

The Transformation of Electrical Energy

As we all know, a fallen power line is dangerous. Not only are they dangerous, but they wreak havoc on those who lose power from them in their homes or businesses. Life seems to temporarily stand still. Luckily, fallen power lines do not happen often, but when it does happen, everyone’s lives need to adjust. In this article, you will learn about the basics of how power is distributed through the power lines and how transformers allow consumers to get power through the conversion of electricity. There are many different types and sizes of electrical...

Isolation Transformers

Isolation transformers are designed to do one thing: isolate electricity. An isolation transformer works by separating the source of the electricity from the device the electricity is supplied to by distributing electricity to the device. Unlike most other transformers that change the voltage of electricity, isolation transformers are used to prevent unwanted electricity from escaping while still controlling the electricity transmitted. Isolating the electricity is essential for many electronic devices, such as electric shavers, hair dryers,...

Basics of Electrical Transformations

Electric transformers are used to transform electrical energy into different voltages. Conceptually, transformers alter the voltage from high to low or from low to high energy. The transformation of electrical currents allows electricity to be transported between power lines and wires so that it can power different types of applications. One example is the use of transformers that provide power through power lines that can be seen on the side of the roads. Depending on their application, electric transformers range in size, power level, and capability. In...
